My specialties

Go somewhere
that means something.

Start with the feeling you’re after. I’ll help you find the places, partners, and pace that bring it to life.

02 · Expedition Cruising

Follow your curiosity beyond the familiar.

For travelers who want their days shaped by discovery. The expedition team, time exploring, and opportunities ashore matter as much as the ship. From remote coastlines to wildlife-rich islands, we choose the journey around what you most want to experience.

03 · African Safaris

Make room for the moments you cannot schedule.

The best safari for you begins with your interests, the season, and the pace you want. We consider regions, camps, guiding, and the travel between them—so there is time to enjoy being there. My own Kenya travels bring a personal perspective to the conversation.

04 · Antarctica & the Arctic

Discover the world at its wildest edges.

Antarctica and the Arctic are distinct journeys, each deserving careful planning. We look at the season, route, expedition team, and ship, alongside your comfort with sea crossings and activity levels. My January 2026 Atlas expedition gives us a firsthand starting point for Antarctica.

There’s no single “best” polar expedition. The right choice depends on what you hope to see, the time you have, and how you want to explore.

05 · River Cruising

See a region unfold, one river bend at a time.

River cruising puts the places along the route at the center of the journey. We compare stops, touring styles, walking pace, and the personality of the ship. My own Uniworld Rhine experience helps ground the conversation, while your interests set the direction.

06 · Privately Guided Journeys

What would you do with a journey built around you?

Art and food in Japan. Ancient places in Peru. A guide who understands the questions you want to ask. Private travel lets us shape the days around your interests, balancing the places you dream of with the time to appreciate them.
